If you are a pc enthusiast I'm going to say you need a sensor panel. I built one myself, 7" lcd display and driver board costs less then 30€ and the result is incredible. I always look at it for any sort of reason it has temperatures, FPS, cpu/gpu/ram usage, network bandwidth.. I always know what's going on!

I used rainmeter to do the same thing on my 2nd monitor for free if anyone is looking for a software solution to this :)

Got any good sources for getting started on something like that? I use software for this but I keep it up all the time so it's probably worthwhile for me to get a separate device at this point.

I'm going to mod the PC of a friend soon, I will share a guide if you are interested.

I would be interested but don't go to extra trouble on my account. I saw your other comment that mentioned AIDA64 that's a starting point.
